Magnolia Stamps, based in Boras Sweden, really don't need much of an introduction.
They are the reason this little challenge blog is here and the reason you are all out there crafting and blogging away. They make us all happy and I know we all eagerly anticipate the arrival of each new collection so we can start dreaming up new scenes with the magnificent new stamps.
We are delighted to have them sponsor us this week.

Thank you so much Magnolia!

This week our challenge was to "Bling it Baby" and there was some discussion within the group as to what actually constitutes "bling". Since we had a few different ideas we thought we should include pearls, gems, charms, glitter and rhinestones - and anything else that could possibly be thought of as bling - LOL. It's one of those challenges that is open to interpretation. With that decided we cast our votes and this week we'd like to congratulate our winner.......

Jennifer D {52}

Jenny has created a stunning Christmas easel card in beautiful non-traditional colours. Her fabulous details and use of dies add a richness that is completely lush. If you want to see more of Jenny's amazing work you can check out her blog HERE.
